Warriors High!

Okay, lots of people are all like 'Why did you kill Hollyleaf? Why?' Well, I have an answer.

I wanted to do something unexpected. So I hinted of a death, and nobody thought it was Hollyleaf. NOBODY. That made it unexpected, while others were expecting something but got something else. Plus, she was one of my favourite characters, so nobody expected her to die.

Secondly, in Tawnypelt's words, it can't be all 'mice and moonlight.' No story is perfect. Not everyone is expected to live. I didn't want to be an author that kept all her characters alive and all her favourites healthy. Hollyleaf died in the books- to save Ivypool. Firestar died- to save the Clans. (thanks to the author for those specific examples). *** So everything happens, with bad effects and good effects. I couldn't make everyone like that. I mean, I already brought, oh, 2 or 3 people back from the dead. I want to be a good author- one that makes sacrifices. But I'll have you know, I'll never kill off Foxleap. EVER. I love him too much. :3

I mean, have you read Queen Rebelle's stories? AKA What If The Dark Forest Won? Now that was a good story. But it was sad. In the end, she ended off killing off her favourite character! If that's not sacrifice, considering she also killed off lots of others, I don't know what is. Hats off to you, Rebelle.

So, on with the chapter. I hope you all understand.

Besides, Hollyleaf's death wasn't in vain. :3 You'll see. MWAHAHA.

Jayfeather's POV

I'm sitting on my bed. In nothing more than a t-shirt and pants. Knees tucked up to my chest. Head down. Eyes red and puffy. Lionblaze is no better.

Spottedleaf blames herself. She said that she should have held Hollyleaf back. We told her that it wasn't her fault- when Hollyleaf sets her mind to something, it's hard to prevent her from doing what she wants to do. Apparently Hollyleaf woke up, assumed something was wrong, and bolted to the door. Fallen Leaves was in the bathroom, and didn't know she left until he got out.

He chased after her. When he got there, he saw her body, and everyone else around her, sobbing, he melted. I think the same thing happened to us.

This is what happened.

I smelt the death, raw on Hollyleaf's body, the breathing gone, and Heathertail's scent wafting away. I was furious. Lionblaze was crying and screaming, Cinderheart had melted on the floor, crying. Honeyfern was in shock. Barkface arrived. I sensed his dread, his unease, and I heard beeps as he dialled the phone. 3 beeps. 911.

"Hello?" he croaked. "Emergency. Someone's dead, murderer on the loose. Yes. Yes. Warriors High School. Immediately. No. Send people after her. Yes, it's a her. Blonde. Tall. Very fast. Heathertail. Thank you. No. Yes. Goodbye."

Lionblaze was running for the door, bolting after Heathertail, and nobody stopped him. But, after we contacted our 'home base' the principals returned with Lionblaze.

"WHAT WAS HE DOING OUT HERE?" Thunderstar roared. Then Windstar gasped, and they noticed Hollyleaf's body. Lionblaze pulled away from them weakly.

"Leave me alone," he mumbled, and slumped down by Hollyleaf's side. Then Fallen Leaves came.

"No." I heard the thump as he melted into the floor, crumpling until he wasn't moving anymore. I didn't know what to do. Everyone was in panic. But in that time stretch, the principals were informed, Hollyleaf was carried back by Lionblaze, and we all headed back to the gym. Thunderstar told everyone to go to their dorms now, meaning no questions asked. I didn't smell Foxleap at all. Everything was happening at once. It was horrible.

Now, all the realization had dawned on me, and I was sobbing my heart out. Lionblaze was in the shower. I better stop him before he tries to drown himself.

The phone call made me jump. The phone alarm buzzed. "Lionblaze?" I croaked. I heard his heavy footsteps across the floor and the click as he picked up the phone.

"Hello?" he answered weakly. I felt him tense. "What? Really?"

"That's great! Thank you! We'll be down there in 10 minutes! Thank you!"

"What is it?" I ask.

"She's been caught," Lionblaze explains gleefully. "We're asked to go down to the gym for the 'court' meeting!"

She's caught. She's caught. I repeat the words over and over in my brain. She's caught.

That was sort of a filler. Hope you liked. Review please!
